Abstract
A tape recording and reproducing apparatus utilizing a tape cassette is disclosed which eliminates the tape slack between supply reel and take-up reel. When the tape cassette is placed in the play position, the take-up reel is rotated in the forward direction to remove the tape slack. Then the supply reel is started to rotate by the stretched tape. A detecting device is provided to detect the rotation of the supply reel in the forward direction. The detecting device triggers a control device which in turn causes the tape transport mechanism to come into engagement with the tape ordinary play mode.
